The first Pac-12 player is off the board and it’s in the form of Arizona small forward Stanley Johnson.
The Detroit Pistons desperately needed a great rebounded and they have definitely found a big help down low with Johnson. He helped lead the Wildcats to the Sweet Sixteen during the NCAA Tournament after averaging 6.5 rebounds last season.
Stanley Johnson is the the 4th Arizona freshman to be drafted, joining Aaron Gordon, Grant Jerrett & Jerryd Bayless. #NBADraft

Johnson also averaged 13.8 points per game during his one season in college. That will certainly help improve the Pistons scoring from their small forwards as they only averaged 8.2 points per game last season.
